PlayStation Vita European launch titles and AR games confirmed

Sony has laid its cards out with regards to the PlayStation Vita's European launch, literally. As well as naming the 12 first-party games that will be available when the Vita launches across the PAL regions on 22 February, the company has also detailed the 6 augmented reality cards that will be on offer as well.

The cards will work in tandem with free games that you can grab from the PlayStation Store and Sony is keen to point out that the Vita is the first games console that makes use of WAAR (Wide Area Augmented Reality) tech.

"In contrast to familiar single-card AR, WAAR uses up to six cards and allows for a much larger gameplay area than gamers have previously experienced," read a company statement.

Going forward, the PS Vita will also support markerless AR, which means that no cards will be needed at all.
